高雄市乃台灣重工業之中心。中山大學創校之初，深知機械為工業之母，為因應台灣發展工業科技人才之需要，在1982年創立了機械工程系，並於 1983年 成立研究所碩士班，博士班亦於1986年奉准設立，在南台灣積極扮演著培育人才和推動研究發展與產業升級的角色。為因應迅速發展的科技，本系於2001年由「機械工程學系」更名為「機械與機電工程學系」，並積極實踐「生產自動化」、「節約能源、開發與管理」與「微機電系統」之系所發展重點，以符合未來產業發展需求，培育新興工業之尖端人力。
    為落實大學部及研究所之教育目標，本系於2007年及2014年均通過IEET中華工程教育認證，顯示本系之辦學品質獲得肯定。優良的辦學績效更使本系於2008年及2013年榮獲中國機械工程學會高雄市分會「優秀機械團體獎」。

Overview

The National Sun Yat-Sen University is located in Kaohsiung, the industrial center of Taiwan. Since mechanical engineering is so-called “mother of industry”, in order to meet the demand of engineers for industrial development, the Department of Mechanical Engineering was founded in 1982, at the initial stage of the University. The Master program and the Ph.D. program were then established in 1983 and 1986, respectively. Since then, the Department plays a significant role in southern Taiwan on professionals cultivation, promotion of research and development, and industry upgrading. In response to the rapid progress on science and technology, a new title for the Department, Mechanical and Electro-Mechanical Engineering, was also approved in 2001. The Department actively moulds cutting-edge engineers by educating students with the state-of-the-art technologies, especially on "Production Automation", "Energy Saving, Development and Management" and "Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems" to fulfill the need of future development of industries.

For the purpose of reaching international standards of educational quality, the Department had been certified through accreditation of IEET, a Full Signatory of the Washington Accord, in 2007 and 2014. Furthermore, we also received the Outstanding Mechanical Organization Award from Kaohsiung Branch of the Chinese Society of Mechanical Engineers in 2008 and 2013.

機械與機電工程學系分為熱流組、固力組、控制組、設計製造組、微奈米系統組。強調基礎理論學習，重視實務教學及工程上之應用，經常舉辦各種工廠參觀活動及專題製作展示與比賽，以強化工程學識及技能，畢業後不論升學或就業，均可具備雄厚之實力。目前之研究方向包括：微熱傳與力學分析、微流通元件之製作、節約能源與能源工程、顯微力學解析、半導體封裝技術、光機電整合實務、微奈米檢測技術、超精密加工技術、微奈米技術之整合與應用、綠色能源、生醫機電系統、智慧型機器人、以及智慧型車輛系統等相關領域。進而協助台灣傳統機械產業之轉型與提升，加強國際競爭力。

Research Areas

The Department of Mechanical and Electro-Mechanical Engineering is divided into five research groups: Thermo-Fluid, Solid Mechanics, Control, Design and Manufacturing, and Micro-Nano Systems. Not only basic theories, laboratory practices and engineering applications are involved in our classes. We also hold annual projects demonstration & competition and various factory tours to consolidate students’ engineering knowledge and skills. Whether further advanced studies or employment after graduation, competitive strength and capability of our students is definitely assured. Current research topics include: micro heat transfer and mechanics analysis, fabrication of micro fluidic devices, energy saving and energy engineering, analysis of microscopic mechanics, semiconductor packaging technology, integrated opto-electro-mechanical practices, micro-nano inspection technology, ultra-precision machining technology, integration and applications of micro-nano technology, green energy, biomedical electro-mechanical systems, smart robots, intelligent vehicle systems and other related fields. Consequently, Taiwan's traditional machinery industry can be transformed and promoted to a higher level and international competitiveness will be enhanced.

本系計有六大機械領域重點實驗室包括有：機械實習工廠、熱工實驗室、固力實驗室、電子電路實臨室、自動控制實驗室、以及微奈米製程實驗室。每位專任教師皆有專屬實驗室。共計有研究實驗室29間、教學實驗室10間、教室及討論室19間、系學生閱覽室1間，提供學生良好之學習環境。本系並配合學校貴重儀器共同實驗室之設施，可提供學生先進之研究設備，與產業界同步學習，畢業後能快速進入科技領域服務，提供100%之就業率。
  Facilities

There are six major teaching laboratories including: Machine Shop, Thermal-Fluids Laboratory, Material Testing Laboratory, Electronics Laboratory, Control Laboratory and MEMS Fabrication Processing Laboratory. Besides, each faculty member owns an independent research laboratory. In total, 29 research laboratories, 10 teaching laboratories, 19 classrooms and meeting rooms, and 1 study room are offered to create a good learning environment. Cooperating with Joint Center for High Valued Instrument of NSYSU, advanced research equipment and instruments are provided for students to achieve synchronous learning with industry. These facilities help our students working in high tech fields after graduation with 100% employment rate.
